Concepts for Improvement of Airport Surveillance Radars,

Abstract

The report reviews the performance of operational ASR's, discusses each type of clutter with which the target must compete, examines presently employed methods of overcoming clutter and several state-of-the art techniques which have not found their way into the ASR's for one reason or another. It concludes by describing two radars, one at S-band and one at UHF, which are believed to come closest to fulfilling ASR requirements in advanced ARTS facilities. (Author Modified Abstract)
